TRACKS

Andrea Roma and Mark Denken have delivered a curveball of a track! The samples used in the original are bound to make this one of the most memorable tracks of the season. Overall summer craziness with unorthodox sampling is the name of the game here, and we guarantee that the vocal will be embedded on your brain.

Kiko flips the switch and takes a more serious route, with powerful stabs and his trademarked 5-star production, making this a perfect alternative to the lightness of the original.

A mainstay of the Second State label, Michael Klein’s back catalog has now expanded to include 11releases with the Berlin imprint. ‘Golden Hour’ is a classic high-energy and versatile contribution from Klein, with 5 mesmerizing techno tracks.

Opener and title track ‘Golden Hour’ kicks off with strong synergy between the kick, bass, and percussion. Moving & rising at controlled pace, Klein brings in off-kilter keys and a smooth arpeggio. Next up is ‘VoiceInterrupt’ which uses twisted melodies and pitch distortions to create a tense but energetic energy. Minimal shakers and a solitary hi-hat add texture to the track whilst keeping the arrangements tight and bouncy. ‘InMy Own Eyes’ starts off minimal and subdued, with a rotary synth that eventually breaks through and takes command. Subtle industrial elements are used but hidden under shakers, coming to the forefront during a brief interlude of the main synth-line.

Following is ‘Howlip’ with a uniform kick, hi-hat, and a jagged synth combo that dance menacingly throughout. A sample of the cut’s name chimes in at varied volumes, at times battling against the main groove and recurring electro-twinged synth. A driving and peak-time dance-floor weapon. The finale of the EP ‘One Eyed Master’ is dominated by piping, high-frequency keys that bubble under the main kick, and sharp single hi-hat. Varying in intensity as the track drives on, the keys create a dystopian yet uneasy atmosphere. Klein again plays with the balance of percussion and pitch to manipulate the mood created in the track, an obvious theme and technique applied throughout the EP.

Michael Klein - One Eyed Master

JOTON
Stimulus And Response EP

▪ Bandcamp: http://bit.ly/3V5zDsd

One of the basic functions of electronic music is to create a stimulus and generate a response. Without this nothing makes sense. That's why Joton in this new EP intends to use his characteristic techno sound to provoke in electronic music lovers a strong response, without half measures, without filters, without prefabricated tricks. "Stimulus and Response" is composed by 4 tracks that compose a journey that moves away from the linear path and proposes a constant roller coaster of emotions.   

"Moving Forward, Not Back" - Joton Ft. Zaid was created during one of Joton's online production courses and is a clear example of the possibilities of collaborative work between teacher and student, achieving a perfect symbiosis and coordination.

"Angry Is Easier" is an example of forceful techno, hard, without concessions, that looks for the purity of the sound without half measures. 

 "Iquique" was made during a group course in the city of Iquique in Chile, during Joton's last tour in South America 2 months ago. A sample of the power of improvisation, of how in a matter of seconds you can compose a piece that gives off an unusual freshness.

"All That Glitters" stands out for its forcefulness, a strong proposal, a direct sound designed to blow up the danceflor. It is an off beat track, a perfect tool for the mix, with percussive elements that flow unbound through the stereo.

Una de las funciones básicas de la música electrónica es crear un estímulo y generar una respuesta. Sin esto nada tiene sentido. Por eso Joton en este nuevo EP pretende utilizar su característico sonido techno para provocar en los amantes de la electrónica una respuesta contundente, sin medias tintas, sin filtros, sin trucos prefabricados. “Stimulus and Response” está compuesto por 4 tracks que componen un viaje que se aleja del camino lineal y propone una constante montaña rusa de emociones.   

“Moving Forward, Not Back - Joton Ft. Zaid “ fue creado durante uno de los cursos de producción online de Joton y es una muestra clara de las posibilidades del trabajo colaborativo entre maestro y alumno, logrando una simbiosis y coordinación perfecta.

“ Angry Is Easier “ es un ejemplo de techno contundente, duro, sin concesiones, que busca la pureza del sonido sin medias tintas. 

“ Iquique “ fue realizado durante un curso presencial grupal en la ciudad de Iquique en Chile, durante la última gira de Joton por Sudamérica hace 2 meses. Una muestra del poder de la improvisación, de cómo en cuestión de segundos se puede componer una pieza que desprende una frescura inusual.

“ All That Glitters “ destaca por su contundencia, una propuesta fuerte, un sonido directo diseñado para reventar la pista. Se trata de un track off beat, una herramienta perfecta para la mezcla, con elementos de percusión que fluyen sin ataduras por el estéreo.
